December 10, Movie Muffins

Another lazy post tonight for me to clean up in the weekend.
These muffins get there name because they look like the ice creams you get at the cinema.

Ingredients

2 cups self-raising flour
4 Tbsp cocoa powder
1 cup caster sugar
200g butter/margarine, softened
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/4 tsp red food colouring

3 cups icing sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 Tbsp Margarine
Boiling water
Dish of chopped nuts

Method

Preheat oven to 160C. Place 18 muffin casings into muffin trays.
Sift flour and cocoa.
In a separate bowl beat together sugar and butter then add eggs one at a time and stir well after adding each egg.
Gradually add flour mix and stir well.
Mix in vanilla essence and food colouring.
Spoon into muffin casings.
Bake for 20 minutes.

Icing

Mix icing sugar with cocoa powder.
Make hollow in the middle of the mixture.
Place margarine in the centre of the mixture.
Add boiling water till mixture is dissolved but not to 'runny'.
Spread icing onto each muffin then dip into a dish of chopped nuts.
